Some of these features sound like anti-security and definitely anti-privacy features. Will definitely make you think twice about having a “private” meeting on Zoom if they’re going to embed my email on a screenshot someone else takes. Great way to get a meeting organizers email...

> Screen Share Watermark Superimposes the image of a meeting participant’s email address onto shared content in the event a participant takes a screenshot.

Isn’t the point that it embeds your email address onto screenshots you take?

Zoom's intended for corporate customers. Many of us have compliance requirements that demand not having individual privacy for employees.

If you want to elicit a change, the biggest value for your time will be lobbying against FedRAMP and its corollaries.

I wonder how zoom determines if a screenshot is taken.

On Linux/Wayland at least, there's no API for an app to determine that this is happening. So they'd have to show the watermark all the time.

Yes as I understand the watermark is on the Zoom video stream you're viewing, so it doesn't need to detect when you take a local screenshot.

Likely by detecting certain keystrokes (that's what Snapchat does on iOS for example). Idk if there are other ways on macOS or Windows.

If this were google or Microsoft this comment wouldn't be getting downvoted

[vinay427]

Probably because they seemed to have misinterpreted the text they quoted in their own comment. The participant who takes the screenshot has their own email embedded in their screenshot, not someone else's.

Not sure why I got downvoted on that? Everyone must be really happy with Zoom. lol
